Sign the petition to re-establish the Ronald Street footbridge!

Visit our friends at The Elizabeth Cafe in Coburg North for a fabulous coffee and sign the petition to have the Ronald Street Footbridge erected in 2017.

The petition is to show the Moreland City Council that there is a high demand and need to have the Ronald Street Footbridge re-established within the 2017 Calendar year. It is a highly utilised bridge over Edgars Creek and without it, it greatly affects day-to-day life for local businesses and the general public wishing to the use the park.

Community announcement

The City of Darebin is asking the community to not feed the wildlife. When people feed ducks, native birds and wildlife, they may not realise that giving wildlife food that they wouldn’t normally eat is bad for their health and environment.
